NIKI & BEN | WEDDING | NEW BEDFORD WHALING MUSEUM | NEW BEDFORD, MA
Downtown New Bedford is a pretty fun place. The streets are lined with cobblestone, the buildings are all very old and reminiscent of colonial times. There are lots of restaurants and shops to visit, and fun activities to enjoy with friends or for a fun date night out. In such a small area of New Bedford, there is a lot going on. All of this looks over the harbor where fishing boats nest, making it picturesque and you almost feel like you’re down The Cape. In the middle of all of this sits The Whaling Musuem. It’s a place to visit with family, but it also hosts weddings!
Niki and Ben were married on a beautiful summer day in August of this year. This wedding that I photographed for the Thompson Photography Group was one of my favorites! This was the second wedding this year that I photographed at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, and I love it! It’s such a fun venue, and one that I have come to love. The room that hosts weddings is located on the top floor, with a balcony that overlooks the waterfront. The room itself is wide open with clean decor. Cocktail hour is typically held in the museum itself where an actual HUGE ship is kept! It’s a sight to see for sure!
Niki and Ben’s wedding was beautiful. The bride and her maids got ready at a carriage house located in New Bedford. The place itself was so cute, and was a perfect spot for some outdoor photos of the bride, bridesmaids and some family. They had their wedding ceremony inside a church in Dartmouth, and everything else was at the museum or around the streets. We had fun with the wedding party and Niki and Ben - we walked around the streets and even walked across to the waterfront to get their formals around the boats. Overall, it was such a beautiful day!
I have so many favorites from this wedding, so please enjoy lots of photos from this day! <3
